GOING: S(5)

POCO VINO QTIS Two-Years-Old Handicap 800m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Many of these youngsters step out for the first time so a strong pace is anticipated. SWEET REBELLION (3) raced handy but was no match for the tearaway winner Cherry Bomshell on debut last start over 1000m at Eagle Farm, finishing third. Coming back in trip looks a positive move. Won't find one as good this time and is going to be hard to catch. SUN SISTER (2) worked hard to find the lead then had nothing left in the run home on debut last time out over 1110m at Doomben. Facing a much easier assignment today and the 800m trip should suit. Can improve sharply. MISHANI ROZAY (6) contested the same race as Sun Sister when she was facing the starter for the first time recently. Never in contention that day but can make amends in this easier assignment. TOSCANELLA (4) is a Michael Nolan-trained filly on debut. Won her only public trial so is likely to be popular with punters. ZANDARI (5) from the Stuart Kendrick stable is another debutante who won her only trial. Keep an eye on the betting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sweet Rebellion.

Form hard to fault. Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd in a small field at Rockhampton 2yo Hcp on January 29 over 1100m, slow going nose behind Barbarian King carrying 56kg at $2.90. Before that 2nd of 10 at Thangool 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on January 24 over 800m, 2.75 len behind Subsidise carrying 54.5kg at $26. One of the fringe chances.
